Very delicious and diverse dishes to try. Great insights into the culture and cuisine of Egypt. Ahmed answered all our questions and gave us tips for the further journey. There was definitely more food than we could ever eat in our group. Maybe you could order a little less here. On the whole, however, a great experience, which we can only recommend!

Ahmed was a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide who provided us with an introduction to the history and culture of Egypt as well as its food. in addition to sampling food typically served for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the tour also included a juice bar, street food and dessert at a bakery. Our tour lasted about three and a half hours and Ahmed even stayed with us until our Uber ride arrived to take us back to our hotel. Would recommend with out reservation. Best for your first night in Cairo.

At each stop, of which there are many, Ahmed described how the food we ate fits into the historic and daily life of Muslim Egyptians. We have taken food tours in many different countries, and this rates among the very best. Four hours flew by and we sampled many different dishes at each stop. Pace yourself or you won’t have room for dessert at the end!

My wife and I wanted to get a glimpse of daily Egyptian food and grocery shopping and the tour with Ahmed delivered this and so much more. We visited places in the oldest neighborhood of Cairo that represented generation old family eateries serving Egyptian staple foods. The markets and food stalls were amazing, filled with all the spices, herbs, veggies and fruits in preparation of Ramadan. Ahmed was an absolute resource in all things large and small. The philosophy behind the tours that he and his wife Shorouk have set up, is in the best tradition of community engagement. A wonderful and absolutely recommended experience.

This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on rated in my top five experiences of travelling overseas Ahmed is kind and knowledgeable and provide you with so much more information than just about the food. The tour lasted 3 1/2 hours and it extremely good value for money and so much fun. I would recommend booking this tour before you book any trips to The pyramids it was that good

If you’re coming to Cairo, do not miss going on this tour. Book this tour before you book any pyramid tours it was absolutely outstanding. Ahmed was authentic and not only did you learn about food but you learnt about the culture. The tour lasted nearly 4 hours and the amount of food we had was so much that in the end we had to say so please stop feeding us. I think this is one of the best things I’ve ever done and I would strongly suggest you’re going. He also runs cooking classes which I would’ve loved to have done but didn’t know about. Here’s a kind warm person who communicates fantastically.

Eat with your Egyptian family would have to be one of the top five experiences I’ve ever had travelling. I learnt so much, I ate so much and would highly recommend booking this tour before booking any tour to the pyramids!
